Hello, help determine what kind of lighter, and the period of manufacture.

Design is very similar to the IMCO of 1920-1930, but other than embossed camel no inscriptions were found.

Just think to buy or not.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

With uvazheniem.Roman.

I do not think it's IMCO IMCO lighters at all was designated company manufacturer, and from what I understand they were pure brass, and that no other than a camel has a single line, covered with a layer of yellow metalla.Na E-buy a few pieces for sale, the truth condition better, and the price is the same or slightly more than asking for this.

Here I sit in thought whether to get this ekzemplyar.Skoree likely yes))) I 20 IMCO's really like, like this (most likely) replica.

Arthur, thanks for the answer! On Vintage whole evening sitting studied today, Google and tortured, and E-by found that for the model))) By the way, in some descriptions written, "the manufacturer is not indicated."

It is believed that a modern remake may 70-80 years, and maybe even later - are produced and may now available, I have met. With Camel is not exactly IMCO.

Vladimir you absolutely pravy.K unfortunately it is not Vintage, and especially not Trench Lighter, is a modern copy, simply put advertising lighter 90s, but if you like it, of course buy! I would pay for it well, a maximum $ 15, together with the shipment :) Yes, it will be a vintage commercials in twenty years

Thank you all for your answers and links!

I think that still manufacture 90, and her price on eBay from 10 to 40 dollars, we have the initial price of 270 hryvnia (34-35 dollars).

Here are a couple of links:

http://ebay.co.ua/catalog/show ..... 937801295 /

http://ebay.co.ua/catalog/show ..... 055711821 /

http://ebay.co.ua/catalog/show ..... 896023478 /

So I think, and I can not decide yet, especially given the state of the lighters are not much though if she brass, you can remove the decorative cover, but everything else like it (although I would like her to be much cheaper))) can be seen it is made soundly, shipment cost a maximum of $ 2, in the extreme case, you can either nickel plated or silvered.

In my mneniyueto better than here such lighter with a starting price of 200 hryvnia

As such the same Ebay are $ 10-15 in excellent sosotoyanie.

In general, I can not decide to purchase on Ebay, it is time to begin.

Here it is my dream:
